Explanation

The correct answer is (a) 1 and 3 only. Let's break down each pair: 1. Limboo (Limbu): Sikkim - This is correct. The Limbu people are indigenous to Sikkim and are recognized as a Scheduled Tribe there. 2. Karbi: Himachal Pradesh - This is incorrect. The Karbi people are primarily found in Assam, Meghalaya, and Manipur. They have a significant presence in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam. 3. Dongaria Kondh: Odisha - This is correct. The Dongaria Kondh are a particularly vulnerable tribal group (PVTG) residing in the Niyamgiri hills of Odisha. 4. Bonda: Tamil Nadu - This is incorrect. The Bonda tribe is found in the Malkangiri district of Odisha. They are known for their unique culture and traditions. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they include at least one incorrectly matched pair.
